Product Development and CTM Manufacturing

Frontage’s formulation development and CTM manufacturing team with extensive product development and clinical trial manufacturing experience designs formulations for targeted delivery of a therapeutic and then develops GMP manufacturing processes to ensure a high-quality product is produced for clinical trials. We develop finished products supporting IND, NDA filings, and generic ANDA filings. Our facilities have been designed for flexibility, as we offer a variety of dosage forms and the ability to handle highly-potent compounds and DEA-controlled substances. We have the equipment needed to model processes on the bench and pilot scales for technology transfer to large-scale manufacturing. We complement these capabilities with our good manufacturing practices (GMP) and manufacturing areas for preclinical, Phase I, and II clinical supplies.
